2026 Audience Reviews

Company: One T Productions
Show: After the End
Venue: Mixed Blood

Moving Apocalyptic Story

I was bawling at the end of this show. Only note is the guitar's volume overwhelmed the singing so it was hard to make out all the lyrics, but that didn't detract too much from the emotional vulnerability. Go see this wonderful performance to reflect on what it means to be human.

Too Fast Paced

This show clearly has so much love poured into it, but the entire show felt too fast paced for me with only a handful of moments to breathe. Everything was technically impressive, but the dense dialogue and plot made it very hard for me to become immersed in the storyline and develop empathy for the characters. This adaptation has an immense amount of potential - it could have excelled if this is adapted into a full length show or if they cut a few scenes.

Humanity is Saved

I went into this with no idea of what would happen and I am so glad I did. I did not expect to be so moved while watching a man cover himself with silver paint, but this is a true testament to Jake's fantastic acting in this one man show. It was unhinged and vulnerable and heartfelt and fantastic.

Hilarious Improv

I had no idea this show is all improv until talking with the cast after and I have to say, I was blown away. Very impressive and hilarious moments between all the actors.

Fringy Show In the Best Way

I loved this surreal show with lots of audience interaction. This show cannot be described but you can expect to laugh and be astounded.

Exciting ensemble characters

This show was a great experience with so many laugh out loud moments and crazy ensemble characters (the auctioneer was a fantastic standout). The only let down was the ending felt a little unsatisfying. I would still recommend anyone watch for a good time!

Hilarious improv

Absolutely hilarious improv. Some highlights for me included the puppetry, musical improv songs, and keyboardist. The stand up routine in the middle was great but felt a bit out of place. Overall such an amazing experience - I will be recommending this to everyone.
